600bhp Range Rover Sport

British tuning firm Project Kahn has upgraded the Range Rover Sport to produce 600bhp, 97bhp more than the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine puts out in standard form.

Kahn has fitted a 10-piece body kit to the Sport, while also colour coding all of its trim and fitting a sports exhausts system that emits a “deep rumble”. Other exterior styling changes include new 22-inch alloy wheels.

Kahn has added a quilted leather material to the front and rear seats, glovebox and dashboard. Special stitching has been included on the leather steering wheel and gear selector. Other interior upgrades include electric blue dials.

It's no coincidence that the tree got in the way. Even the most orange of tuners - Kahn of Peckham and Chelmsford - must have a sense of how grotesque is this mutilation.

The manufacturer’s original is vulgar enough, so it’s almost worthy of respect that Kahn has managed to educe more vomit with its abuse of the original.

At this rate, what with the persistent articles about grody tuners, and the forum tossed to pieces by a couple of you-know-whats, very soon, I doubt Autocar will be left with many readers over and above some spotty graffiti perverts and John McToon.

Why anyone would want the name of their local curry house written across the bonnet of their car is beyond me. Have for years seen Kahn's ads for "Project Kahn" this and that with hideous wheels and styling and thought it has to pass. Clearly not. What happened to subtly turning ordinary cars into performance machines. Remember being all excited about the Brabus E-V12 which looked like a regular E-class to most people.
